Abstract
In this paper, we review the current state of technology development and clinical applications of endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT). Key design and engineering considerations are discussed for most OCT endoscopes, including side-viewing and forward-viewing probes, along with different scanning mechanisms (proximal-scanning versus distal-scanning). Multi-modal endoscopes that integrate OCT with other imaging modalities are also discussed. The review of clinical applications of endoscopic OCT focuses heavily on diagnosis of diseases and guidance of interventions. Representative applications in several organ systems are presented, such as in the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems. A brief outlook of the field of endoscopic OCT is also discussed.

In Vivo Endoscopic Optical Biopsy with Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: In this article, optical coherence tomography was adapted to allow high-speed visualization of tissue in a living animal with a catheter-endoscope 1 millimeter in diameter, which was used to obtain cross-sectional images of the rabbit gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts at 10-micrometer resolution.

Glioblastoma Treatments: An Account of Recent Industrial Developments

TL;DR: The different drugs and medical devices, which are commercialized or under industrial development for glioblastoma treatment, are reviewed and the need for early GBM diagnosis is emphasized since it could enable the treatment of GBM tumors of small sizes, possibly easier to eradicate than larger tumors.

Ultrathin monolithic 3D printed optical coherence tomography endoscopy for preclinical and clinical use.

TL;DR: A novel ultrathin probe fabrication technique that utilizes 3D microprinting to reliably create side-facing freeform micro-optics on single-mode fibers and is the smallest freeform 3D imaging probe yet reported, with a diameter of 0.457 mm.

Characterization of Human Atherosclerosis by Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: Objective OCT criteria are highly sensitive and specific for characterizing different types of atherosclerotic plaques in vitro and will provide a basis for the interpretation of intracoronary OCT images obtained from patients.
